Small business insurer BizCover will celebrate its 15th year in the industry by launching its biggest grant program.
Called BizGiver, BizCover's grant program is held twice a year. Since its launch, the grant program has helped small businesses grow by awarding nearly $100,000 in goods and services.
Last year's BizGiver winner, Georgi from Paid 4 U Café, highlighted the grant's community impact: “Paid 4 U Café is all about community support and services. Winning this grant will spread awareness of our business, and more people will come to know about our project.”
For this year's BizGiver, BizCover will provide a $5,000 grant to one outstanding small business owner rather than the usual $2,000 grant.
“At BizCover, we believe that small business is big business, and our commitment is to find ways to make their already busy lives easier, allowing them not only to be protected but to grow and thrive,” said Sharon Kenny, head of marketing at BizCover.
BizGiver welcomes entries from small business owners, regardless of their association with BizCover. Interested applicants can enter the grant program by recording a one-minute video sharing what product or service they would use to elevate their business or ease their journey.
Submissions close on Oct. 20. BizCover will announce the finalists on Nov. 14, and the winner on Nov. 22.
In other news, BizCover celebrated over 200,000 small businesses insured through its platform.
